What Happens When the Good Are Silent?
[TheOrganizedPrepper] What happens when the good are silentAs the wicked run about When the good just hold their tongues While the evil scream and shout? When the good are silent As theft becomes the norm Should they be surprised When culture takes new form? "I just don’t understand" "Where it all went wrong" "My country has gone crazy" It’s the same old song What would’ve happened Had there been more Scholls? Exposing all the lies Showing Naziism’s holes? Or if there’d been more Schindler’s Risking all to save a few Putting good above their fear To save the beaten Jew But, no, the good were silent To save their skins they hid As another Nazi soldier Cremated another kid What if Solzhenitsyn Had refused to testify About the horrors he had seen When he thought that he may die? Would more have fallen for The soviet way of life Where "You belong to the state!" "Fight, and taste the knife!" So now, let’s ask the question One each man must ask It’ll show your heart And remove that sterile mask What kind of man do you Want your family to Remember you as being "We few, we happy few?" Or would you have a coward Sitting in their midst Eating at their table With a heart not more than grist Is that the heart a wife desires? The heart you’ve always wanted? Or is it the slimy excuse Of a man scared of being hunted? What happens when the good sit down? "It’d be best to just lay low!" "It’s safe inside my home!" ’Tis a heavy blow Against these little children The weak who need the strong. And they were left defenseless Is this right or wrong? Do the good stand by and watch As a kidnapper plies his trade Is this the purpose of a fist Is this why it was made? "I can’t jump into that fray!" "That man might hurt me too!" "I’ll just wish it was over." We few, we happy few... And so, another kid is hurt But hey, you’re still alright! With your hands stuck in your pockets What’s on TV tonight? Perhaps this is the way That nations fin’ly fall? Evil just runs loose And the good? Where are they all? Well, they’re all at home It’s comfortable in there A bowl of popcorn in the lap While in the easy chair The people they should love Are falling left and right But they are men no longer Too castrated to fight They’re scared of speaking up And what just that may mean Not aware you must pick a side Neutrality? What do you mean? What happens to the good men When fear binds up their tongues Evil will take over. Then Screams escape their lungs Because that’s the way it starts The wolves feed on the weak And when the lambs are missing The pattern’s not unique Then the wolves move up the flock Attacking all that’s left The comfort is then gone And all are left bereft So, where can the good be found If they never make a sound? Well, if silent for too long They’re six feet in the ground. Because they were silent for too long Taking chains, when they were free This has all happened before "There was no one left for me." A lion scours the earth Seeking to devour And when the knights are silent Then evil flaunts its power And as the silent good men stand Back to watch the innocent fall The question must be raised Were they ever good at all?
